Beware of a place
A smile on a bright shiny face
I'll never return, how do you know?
Tarot woman
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Hey, I don't know!
Yes, I've got the time to spend
But I don't want to spend it here
I always did enjoy drinking alone
So let me finish this drink
Without telling me what you think
We go our separate ways, I say so long
I ain't gonna be here very long
One last fuck you, that's it, and I'm gone
I ain't gonna be here very long
One last fuck you, that's it, and I'm gone
I'm not the one who invented the sun
But I know who did
Check out the knife on the millionaire's wife
Getting all unhinged
Trying to decide who's good and who's just rich
Took all of his money and she burned it in a ditch
Boy, you make me make bad decisions
Bad boy, you make me make bad decisions
Don't you know I ain't fucking with them good boys?
Know you love me like ain't nobody here, boy
If you want it, boy, you got it
Ain't you ever seen a princess be a bad bitch?
Someday when we're older, deep in loneliness
Things we said today won't matter, no one could care less
We're just shadows, just ask Plato, it was all a dream
I've had it with Dallas, let's burn down the Palace, I'll bring the kerosene
And if they had the words I could tell to you
To help you on the way down the road
I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
'Cause it's all been said before
Make the best out of the bad, just laugh it off, ha
You didn't have to come here anyway
So remember, every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Well honey it ain't your money'
Cause baby I got plenty of that
I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Cruising down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
Honey I just wonder what you do there in back
Of your pink Cadillac
Well now way back in the Bible
Temptations always come along
There's always somebody tempting
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong
Well they tempt you, man, with silver
And they tempt you, sir, with gold
And they tempt you with the pleasures
That the flesh does surely hold
They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple
But man I ain't going for that
I know it was her pink Cadillac
I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
The silence gets us nowhere
Gets us nowhere way too fast
The silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But you don't know how to listen
One of these nights, one of these crazy old nights
We're gonna find out, pretty mama, what turns on your lights
The full moon is calling, the fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers and moans
You got your demons, you got your desires
Well, I got a few of my own
Oh, someone to be kind to in between the dark and the light
Oh, coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you, one of these nights
Do you wanna see me crawl across the floor to you
Do you wanna hear me beg you to take me back
I’ll gladly do it ‘cause
I don’t want to fade away
Give me one more day please
I don’t wanna fade away
In your heart I wanna stay
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Who's thinking about you now?
If you were building a wall, who would tear it all down and pull you
Through?
Who's thinking about you?
Who'd care enough to send you flowers, that you could call at all hours
And give your love to?
Somebody must believe if they could see what I see
If they haven't, well they will
Baby they all will
Just when you suspect that life couldn't get no harder, something comes
Along and makes your dark day darker
The weight of it all falls on you
Who will be the one to listen when it's time to listen?
Who will be the one to miss you when you've gone missing?
Well, I do
Do I qualify, qualify, qualify, qualify, qualify?
I want to be the one to help you ignore Mr. Loneliness peeking his head
Into your door
I'm hoping you can feel me
I'm hoping you can give me a new chance, chance, yes
I'm hoping that you notice how you're blessed
If you walked in just to walk out, then I reckon you get going.
But if you're built for staying then I pray that you stay knowin'.
I was never bound for perfect but I sure am bound to you.
Sure as stars shine tonight and the river flows on through.
Little Ann took the easy way
She said take the money and run away
Lie down and look away
Save the money for a rainy day
There ain't no easy way
I said there ain't no easy way
Every day is a rainy day
You are so lovely, you are so beautiful
Please don't cry, please don't be miserable
You may have problems and you may want to die
But please don't worry, let it all pass by
There's no easy way to shake off sorrow
But maybe the only way is to think about tomorrow
It's only water
In a stranger's tear
Looks are deceptive
But distinctions are clear
A foreign body
And a foreign mind
Never welcome
In the land of the blind
You may look like we do
Talk like we do
But you know how it is
